A dream is an inspiring picture of the future that energizes your mind, will, and emotions, empowering you to do everything you can to achieve it.” – John C. Maxwell

I’ll spare you the play-by-play account and allow the message of this short clip to stir you.
You may never know the full impact of a kind word expressed, a hug given, taking a moment to listen to someone, or a simple smile shared.
I encourage you to give the gift of SIGNIFICANCE to another.
Choose to take what you have, who you are, and make a difference in someone’s life – TODAY!
Work isn’t really hard to find if you look to the needs people have and how you might serve them.”
It’s time to muddy the waters.
It’s time to arrest that which has been hidden.
It’s time to grab the padlock, insert the key, and release what has been locked away behind closed doors.
It’s Friday and we are going to detour a little and talk about food.
If breakfast is on your mind, maybe an omelet or bacon and eggs might suit you.
Perhaps you have a craving for a salad or wrap for lunch.
Dinner, or “supper” as it is referred to in my neck of the woods, offers endless possibilities.
Are you hungry for eggplant? How do you like it prepared?
Personally speaking, eating eggplant is like biting into a sponge – tasteless for sure!
If I was forced to choose, I would go the route of Eggplant Parmesan.
At least the cheese and pasta sauce would serve as a disguise and hide the main attraction.
For a healthier version check this out.
In my version of Eggplant Made Easy, check out this video clip as you head into your weekend – it’s time for a feel good story.
Hopefully, the interview will encourage you. Below are a few sound bites:

Maybe.
Maybe not.
I’ll defer to your judgment on the question.
One day while traveling for work, I had a similar experience. Nothing earth shattering.
To me, it was a simple reminder of His presence.
If you care to read it about it, you can do so here.
A verse comes to mind:
“Long ago God spoke many times and in many ways to our ancestors through the prophets. And now…He has spoken to us through his Son” Hebrews 1:1-2 (NLT)
The way I see it – He speaks!
The real question is – are we listening?
Care to weigh in on this discussion? What do you think?
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better…
…The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while DARING GREATLY, …
…so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” ― Theodore Roosevelt

We will gather today for picnics, parades, time with family, cookouts, and of course, fireworks displays.
Do the names Francis Lightfoot Lee, Josiah Bartlett, or Abraham Clark ring a bell with you? How about Button Gwinnett, William Paca, or James Smith? Let’s steer to the more recognizable names – John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, John Hancock, and Thomas Jefferson. Finally, some familiar territory in the name game! These men, in addition to […]
